Student Congress made many advances during the 1967-68 school year. One of the most significant ‘happenings'' was the establishment of communication channels with the administra- tion to and from the students. Senators established the student- faculty relations committee and became part of the convoca- tion hour committee. Efforts wer e begun to reorganize the Student Affairs Committee. ''Gripe Sessions'' were conducted mn the food lounge and sessions were arranged with bookstore representatives. Student services included reinstating of card playing in lounges, installation of a juke box in the food lounge, opening of vacent classrooms for study, co-sponsoring of weekly T.G.1.F. dances, and teacher rating. Senators planned activities such as the Homecoming Happening, the second annual Spring Dinner-Dance, and the annual Activities Banquet. Student Con- gress assisted other organizations in making the Traffic Court all-student, assuming financial support of cheerleaders, assisting m reorganization of the Boilermaker, and arranging for the sale of Student Gift-Pax for the support of the baseball team. Finally, = Student Bill of Rights was drafted and put to a vote of the student body. Under responsible leadership of two cabinets, Student Congress made great strides in service to PUCC.

Ciceronians Speak Out Under the able guidance of Prof. Lee Good- man, Ciceronians represented Purdue Calumet at speech and debate tournaments throughout the Mid-West. At various times during the year Ciceronians was represented by: Susan Clark, Doug Fix, Marlene Gransinger, Warren Griggs, Mike Laramie, and Chuck Starks. Although rela- tively inexperienced at the college level in for- ensics, these individuals did well at the various tournaments, with Susan, Doug, Warren, and Mike winning awards. Serving as a meeting ground for PUCC clubs to discuss projects and problems, the Inter-Club Council sought to coordinate activities and ease problems of each club. Every club was represent- ed in ICC and in turn ICC was represented in the Student Congress. Such functions as calen- daring activities and admitting new organiza- tions related to Student Congress and served to relieve some of the work for that group. Led by first semester chairman Jerry Wilski and second semester chairman Bob Harper, the Inter- Club Council spurred interest in various clubs of PUCC through weekly meetings and discus- sions. THE INTER-CLUB COUNCIL is LEFT TO RIGHT—S. Clark, J. Wilski, W. Griggs, Mr. Goodman, M. Gransinger, M. Laramie, D. Fix. BOF SF Coordinates Clubs an asset to Purdue Calumet.
